ABSTRACT
As the Count gave the French pronunciation to the Latin lines, and spoke them with that monotony which is peculiar to the French language, but which the French carry with them into all other languages, and / which distinguishes what is usually called (like lucus a non lucendo) 39 the French accent, he did not mark the long syllables as we do, by laying a greater emphasis on them, but pronounced lachrymis, as if it had been written in English characters Láchréemées.
